joshnoser@gmail.com Please add “Community Impact Grant” in the subject line;
you will receive a confirmation of receipt.
A Grant Award decision will be made by July 28, 2022
The grant will be awarded by a committee made up of Foundation Board members. The selection process will be objective but will favor projects that best align with our Rotary Club’s strategic plan to promote health, education and self-development in the community. Additionally, this grant application may be submitted by anyone in the community, not just Rotarians. However, because Rotary is primarily a service club, we would favor an activity or event that provides a service opportunity to engage the Rotary membership as well as others in our community.
